Questions that pop up a lot! 🥂
❓How long can you keep champagne in your private cellar?
➡️ Contrary to what many people think, champagne is a wine that can be stored for (many) years!
There is a required minimum ageing period for champagne before it is being released onto the market: 15 months for a non-vintage champagne and 36 months for a vintage champagne. However, most Champagne Houses and Champagne Producers release their cuvées (much) later, in order for the tertiary aromas to develop. The cellar master decides when a champagne is ready to be marketed.
For non-vintage champagnes, the rule of thumb is that they can be stored up to 3-4 years, if stored correctly. Great champagnes and vintage champagnes can even be kept for a (much) longer time, in general 5-15+ years, after they have been released.
Ideally, the right storage conditions include a constant temperature (preferably between 10-15 degrees Celsius), a dedicated dark space free of odours and vibrations, as well as a higher humidity level.
At My private Champagne Cellar, your champagne (and wine) bottles are stored under excellent conditions; in authentic Champagne caves, where they have been born and raised.
